In yet another instance of government overreach into family life, a New York dad may lose custody of his son for not taking him to McDonald's for dinner after the child refused to eat anywhere else.

David Shorr insisted that his son was given the option to "eat anywhere but McDonald's", after which his son threw a "temper tantrum" and refused to eat anything for dinner. According the Shorr's defamation suit, he then brought his son to his mother's house to drop him off. The parents, who are in the middle of a high tension divorce, are now arguing over this McDonald's incident in the fight for custody.

Shorr claims that he didn't want his son eating Mcdonald's "because his son had been eating too much junk food," however court-assigned psychologist Marilyn Schiller has deemed Shorr unfit for parenting after letting his child choose not to eat rather than take him to McDonald's.

Reflecting on the situation, Shorr stated that "I wish I had taken him to McDonald’s, but you get nervous about rewarding bad behavior."

Shorr said his wife immediately took their child to McDonald's after he brought him home, so he ended up eating.
